حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا الرَّمَلَ بِالْبَيْتِ ثَلاَثَةَ أَطْوَافٍ وَمَشْىَ أَرْبَعَةِ أَطْوَافٍ أَسُنَّةٌ هُوَ فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ . قَالَ فَقَالَ صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا . قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا قَوْلُكَ صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدًا وَأَصْحَابَهُ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَطُوفُوا بِالْبَيْتِ مِنَ الْهُزَالِ وَكَانُوا يَحْسُدُونَهُ . قَالَ فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَرْمُلُوا ثَلاَثًا وَيَمْشُوا أَرْبَعًا . قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الطَّوَافِ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ رَاكِبًا أَسُنَّةٌ هُوَ فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ سُنَّةٌ . قَالَ صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا . قَالَ قُلْتُ وَمَا قَوْلُكَ صَدَقُوا وَكَذَبُوا قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَثُرَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ . حَتَّى خَرَجَ الْعَوَاتِقُ مِنَ الْبُيُوتِ . قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ يُضْرَبُ النَّاسُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ عَلَيْهِ رَكِبَ وَالْمَشْىُ وَالسَّعْىُ أَفْضَلُ .
Abu Tufail reported:I said to Ibn `Abbas (Allah be pleased with them): Do you think that walking swiftly round the House in three circuits, and just walking in four circuits is the Sunnah (of the Holy Prophet), for your people say that it is Sunnah? Thereupon he (Ibn `Abbas) said: They have told the truth and the lie (too). I said: What do your words "They have told the truth and the lie (too)" imply? Thereupon he said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Mecca and the polytheists said that Muhammad and his Companions had emaciated and would, therefore, be unable to circumambulate the House; and they felt jealous of him (the Holy Prophet). (It was due to this) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded them to walk swiftly in three (circuits) and walk (normally) in four. I said to him: Inform me if it is Sunnah to observe Tawaf between al-Safa and al-Marwa while riding, for your people look upon it as Sunnah. He (Ibn `Abbas) said: They have told the truth and the lie too. I said: What do your words "They have told the truth and the lie too" imply? He said: When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had come to Mecca, there was such a large gathering of people around him that even the virgins had come out of their houses (to catch a glimpse of his face). And they were saying: He is Muhammad; He is Muhammad. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (was so gentle and kind) that the people were not beaten back (to make way) in front of him. When there was a throng (of people) around him, he rode (the she-camel). However, walking and trotting are betterRapporté par Abu Tufail : J’ai dit à Ibn ‘Abbas رضي الله عنه : « Penses-tu que marcher rapidement autour de la Ka’ba pendant trois tours et marcher normalement pendant quatre tours est la Sunna du Prophète, car tes gens disent que c’est la Sunna ? » Il a répondu : « Ils ont dit la vérité et aussi le contraire. » J’ai demandé : « Que veux-tu dire par “Ils ont dit la vérité et aussi le contraire” ? » Il a expliqué : « Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ est venu à La Mecque, et les polythéistes ont dit que Muhammad et ses compagnons étaient affaiblis et ne pourraient pas faire le tawaf ; ils étaient jaloux de lui. C’est pour cela que le Messager d’Allah ﷺ leur a ordonné de marcher rapidement pendant trois tours et normalement pendant quatre. » J’ai dit : « Dis-moi, est-ce la Sunna de faire le tawaf entre al-Safa et al-Marwa à dos de monture, car tes gens considèrent cela comme Sunna ? » Il a répondu : « Ils ont dit la vérité et aussi le contraire. » J’ai demandé : « Que veux-tu dire par là ? » Il a expliqué : « Quand le Messager d’Allah ﷺ est arrivé à La Mecque, il y avait une telle foule autour de lui que même les jeunes filles étaient sorties de chez elles pour le voir. On disait : “C’est Muhammad ; c’est Muhammad.” Le Messager d’Allah ﷺ était si doux et bienveillant que les gens n’étaient pas repoussés devant lui. Quand la foule était trop dense, il est monté sur sa chamelle. Mais marcher et trotter sont meilleurs. »Grades given by scholars
